Desmond lives in Vancouver, Canada with his wife, Gerri. Together, they have 12 grandchildren. The Wonderful World of Om is Desmond’s first book directed at a juvenile readership in which he elaborates similar themes of high order values as in his other novels for an adult audience. By anchoring the story in a real life situation of injustice and using a magical leap to another reality, he seeks to capture the imagination of his young readers while inspiring them to hold fast to the ideals of justice, truth and honesty. He never speaks down to his readers, but asks them to come along with him to that place in literature where heart and mind fuse in the wonder of adventure, love, and achievement.показать меньше
